Episode 3: Nikhil Basu Trivedi

In this episode, I’m speaking with Nikhil Basu Trivedi, author of next big thing, founding member of Artsy, and angel investor. Nikhil found his growth mindset and desire to be challenged as a molecular biology major at Princeton University and eventually made his way towards becoming an angel investor.

To date, he’s invested in many successful startups, with a strong track record in subscription-based companies-Literati, Imperfect Foods, The Farmer’s Dog, The Pill Club, and more.

We talk about how growing up with parents who empowered him to carve his own path helped him become the person he is today.
